Summary of ChargerLAB

ChargerLAB has learned that there are relatively few magnetic portable SSDs on the market currently, but the number is steadily increasing, with existing products showing significant differences in appearance, weight, and other aspects.

Starting with the design, MOVESPEED's CK20 stands out with its creative design, mimicking the shape of the common "Enter" key on keyboards, aiming to provide users with a familiar yet novel experience. The designs of the TEAMGROUP and OISLE brands are more minimalist and traditional. TEAMGROUP adopts a sleek appearance, while OISLE opts for a more rounded and compact design philosophy. Both products are aimed at catering to users who value simplicity and portability.

Weight is also an important consideration for these portable SSDs. OISLE's product stands out with its lightweight design, weighing only 35 grams, making it ideal for users who frequently need to carry mobile storage devices. In comparison, the products from TEAMGROUP and MOVESPEED are relatively heavier due to their aluminum alloy construction, weighing 40 grams and 50 grams respectively. The aluminum alloy material not only gives these two products higher durability and an elegant appearance but also slightly increases their weight.

When it comes to performance and transfer speeds, MOVESPEED's portable SSDs excels with support for USB transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps, providing a fast and efficient data transfer experience. TEAMGROUP's product offers a transfer speed of 10Gbps, which, although halved compared to MOVESPEED, is more than sufficient for the USB-C port specifications of iPhone 15. Meanwhile, OISLE's product, positioned in the entry-level market, offers a transfer speed of 5Gbps, suitable for ordinary users with less demanding transfer speed requirements.
